Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 2012 / Notices 9219 

consistent with, or be a logical 

extension of, the scope, goals, and 

objectives of each grantee’s application, 

as approved following the 2007 

TCPCTIP competition. If we publish the 

proposed waivers and extension as 

final, we would award continuation 

grants based on information provided to 

us by each grantee, indicating that it is 

making substantial progress performing 

its TCPCTIP grant activities. 

The proposed extension of the project 

period and waivers of 34 CFR 75.250 

and 75.261(c)(2) would not exempt the 

current TCPCTIP grantees from the 

appropriation account-closing 

provisions of 31 U.S.C. 1552(a), nor 

would they extend the availability of 

funds previously awarded to current 

TCPCTIP grantees. As a result of 31 

U.S.C. 1552(a), appropriations available 

for a limited period may be used for 

payment of valid obligations for only 

five years after the expiration of their 

period of availability for Federal 

obligation. After that time, the 

unexpended balance of those funds is 

canceled and returned to the U.S. 

Treasury Department and is unavailable 

for restoration for any purpose (31 

U.S.C. 1552(b)). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

The Secretary certifies that the 

proposed waivers and extension would 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

The small entities that would be 

affected by these proposed waivers and 

extension are the two grantees selected 

based on the May 15, 2007, notice 

currently receiving Federal funds. 

The Secretary certifies that the 

proposed waivers and extension would 

not have a significant economic impact 

on these entities because the proposed 

waivers and extension impose minimal 

compliance costs to extend projects 

already in existence, and the activities 

required to support the additional year 

or years of funding would not impose 

additional regulatory burdens or require 

unnecessary Federal supervision. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This notice of proposed waivers and 

extension does not contain any 

information collection requirements. 

Intergovernmental Review 

The TCPCTIP is not subject to 

Executive Order 12372 and the 

regulations in 34 CFR part 79.
